Can I have a body massage during my pregnancy?

I have a lot of back pain and I am 6 months pregnant. Is it okay to get a body massage done during this stage of pregnancy?

Absolutely! Enjoy
Yes.
Yes you may have a body massage during your pregnancy! How about a jacuzzi, warm shower or bath? Lots of options!
It is common to have lower back pain during pregnancy from pelvic bone displacement caused by the enlarging uterus. A massage will not correct this. You should see a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine who can show your partner how to help you with this whenever you get this pain.
